Lol,I think this is a case of serious wishful thinking about injuries by DG.I remember him saying something similiar last autumn about Carroll having been througj the worst of his injury problems & he would be fine 😉

Positive thought has been scientifically been proved to see a positive outcome. It is a bit different from wishful thinking. Sceptics need to consider this point. Which supporter would not wish the best for the club. A fit squad is what we all want to see. A fit Carrol is good news.

Ps I did not want us to sign him;, but now I cannot wait to see him fully fit and playing with Sakho upfront.

Not wrong 66!!
Thing is I can’t see him fitting into this system of play.? ( when fit ) , only as an impact sub,
A plan b ! Carols game is bashing people up and his aerial ability , OK he does have floor skill but not better than anyone else up front, to use carol effectively you will have to get balls in from the flanks and play off him or route one ( hippo ) style.
That ain’t gonna happen, is it , and I can’t see him displacing sakho with his work rate !
I’ve no confidence in his fitness !!! So only time will tell,
I wish him well but just can’t see it coming together !!!
Fingers x for the lad, he must be well frustrated !!!!

We could of done with him coming on against 10 man Sunderland . I’m sure he would bagged a goal or caused havoc. Far better option than Jelevic who if he’s going to score ever for us it was against the poor Sunderland leftovers.
